Of course, nslookup is the only option on Windows boxen, which is typical!
Yeap, thanks for the reply robbak!

I know nslookup is deprecated, but as you mentioned I don't have any other choice under Windows.

But what I still wonder is how those Windows machines automatically switched to the second (working) DNS server. The primary DNS server was not so responsive, and browsing was very slow.

Anyway, I've removed the primary DNS server and switched to another one
